Stitch fans! We’re sure you’ve been keeping up with the Stitch Crashes Disney Collections! Stitch Crashes Disney Each month, Experiment 626 crashes into a Disney movie with a brand new collection of merchandise.

However, the new Stitch collection has finally arrived, and dare we say, this is the cutest one we’ve seen yet? No more Spaghetti Stitch or Scary Stitch. This Stitch is ADORABLE. But while we found the pin at Discovery Trading Company in Disney’s Animal Kingdom… We found the pin! …the plush and MagicBand were ALREADY out of stock! We’ll be sure to keep an eye out for them and let you know when we spot them.

We’ve been keeping you posted on all the latest Park Pass updates since Disney World’s reopening last year. Cinderella Castle In order to limit capacity after reopening, Disney implemented the Park Pass reservation system, which allows guests to book a spot in the parks for a particular day. To make one of these reservations, guests must have a valid theme park ticket for the same day as their Park Pass. And to reflect this policy, Disney has announced a change to the system. As we mentioned, guests need a valid theme park ticket in order to book a Park Pass. However, sometimes guests will make changes to their tickets (for example, modifying the dates), leaving a Park Pass reservation without a ticket linked. Tree of Life Disney has announced that in these cases, guests’ Park Pass reservations will be canceled. If you have a Park Pass reservation with no valid theme park admission for the same day, you’ll receive an email from Disney warning you about this impending cancellation. You’ll have a designated time period to link valid park admission to your My Disney Experience account for that day before your Park Pass is canceled. Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway Park Passes have been booking up quickly lately, so you’ll want to make sure you don’t lose any reservations for your trip. Double-check to make sure your tickets are all linked to your My Disney Experience account! And if you do receive that warning email, be sure to take action as soon as possible. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad We’ll keep an eye out for any updates on this situation — and we’ll keep bringing ya all the latest Disney news. Stay tuned to DFB!

Here at DFB, we like to consider ourselves experts on Disney snacks! Mickey Bar We visit the parks daily to try out all the interesting new eats that Disney releases. We have quite the list of favorites in the parks, resorts, and Disney Springs. However, we ARE just one group of people, and there’s a good chance that other guests won’t always agree with our snack opinions. To see what a wider variety of people think, we reached out to our followers and asked “Which Disney snack will you NEVER ever eat again?” And honestly…the answers were all over the board! Turkey Leg Perhaps the most popular answer from our readers was the Disney turkey leg! Many people had some strong opinions about this gigantic snack. One person said, “It was cool to say I tried it, but probably won’t eat it again.” That is one big piece of meat! Another answered, “They taste more like ham and are just too big for me.” When we’ve discussed unpopular snacks in the past, this one almost always makes the list, with many fans complaining that it’s too dry or salty. (Poor turkey legs, they just need someone to love them! ) Mickey Pretzel Who would’ve thought that a Mickey-shaped snack would make this list?! While Mickey pretzels are great for photos, they’re definitely not the most beloved pretzel option at Disney World. One reader described them as “dry and thick” while another said, “They are ok but so many better options!” They’ve got one thing going for them — they’re super photogenic! Even we at DFB have to admit that there are other pretzels we like better. We’re bigger fans of the jumbo pretzels at BaseLine Tap House in Hollywood Studios and Pongu Pongu in Animal Kingdom (they both come with more delicious cheese sauces!). Dole Whip/Dole Whip Floats Okay, this one hurts to write. We had quite a few followers share that they weren’t a fan of Dole Whip or Dole Whip floats. The sweet non-dairy pineapple soft serve is practically a Disney rite of passage for many. You can find this just about everywhere in Disney World (it seems that way, at least!). It’s sold in many resorts, theme parks, and even Disney Springs. Thankfully, most of our readers realized how scandalous they were being with their dole Whip-hate, with one reader saying, “I know I know…I should be banned for life.” *insert happy sighs here* Ironically, many of the people who gave this answer thought their opinion was unpopular…even though it wasn’t! One person did state that they only dislike the pineapple Dole Whip flavor because they believe the other flavors are superior. some people just aren’t pineapple fans — that’s totes OK! Even we admit that we often enjoy flavors like strawberry and orange better than the OG! How Much Would it Cost to Eat the 20 Best Disney World Snacks? Click Here to Find Out! Pongu Lumpia Over at Pongu Pongu in Animal Kingdom’s Pandora, you’ll find the Pongu Lumpia — a spring roll wrapper stuffed with cream cheese and crushed pineapple. Some people didn’t have very nice things to say about this snack, with one person sharing, “It was okay, but a one and done for me.” Pineapple and cream cheese — what more could you want?! We received a few comments from people who thought the cream cheese texture was weird. Our team is pretty split on the love it or leave it-ness of this snack. However, this is one of the cheapest treats that Disney World has to offer, so it may be worth trying for that reason alone. What do you have to lose? Cheshire Cat Tail Yet another DFB favorite on the list — you guys are just trying to hurt us! We’ve loved this chocolate-laced puff pastry twist for years. We heard things from our followers like, “Was really looking forward to it but it was stale and very little icing.” Yummmmmmmm Unfortunately, with pastries, your mileage may vary a bit. If you get one that isn’t as fresh and warm or that didn’t get quite as much icing as the others, it can drastically change your experience. If you try the Cheshire Cat Tail and have a less-than-perfect experience, we’d definitely recommend trying again to see if you can get one that’s freshly made! You can currently get these guys at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe or Lunching Pad in Magic Kingdom — its original home, Cheshire Cafe, is still closed. Blue/Green Milk We get it. Blue and Green Milk are two of Disney World’s most divisive treats at the moment, and fans tend to either love them or hate them. You can find these, naturally, at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. They have interesting flavor combinations and the flavors are a little hard to describe. The blue is dragon fruit, pineapple, lime, and watermelon and tastes very generically like mildly sweet fruit, while the green milk is mandarin orange, passion fruit, grapefruit, and orange blossom, tasting like kinda flowery citrus to us. They’re all made with coconut and rice milks, making them non-dairy. The most controversial milk in the galaxy! Several folks called them a “one and done” and one person referred to them as “those gosh darn milks,” which kinda makes them sound like old rivals. A common complaint was the plant-based milk texture throwing them off. Others weren’t fans of the taste. Try these at least one time, but if you don’t like them, you’re not alone! Hate Blue and Green Milk? You Won’t After You Try Our Upgrade! — Click Here! Spring Rolls Magic Kingdom’s spring rolls have gained a massive cult following in recent years, but apparently, not everyone is a fan! You will OFTEN catch up at the little cart just outside of Adventureland buying up these savory snacks. One of our followers said, “I’m sorry, it didn’t live up to the hype.” Delicious fried goodness, if you ask us. Of those that submitted the spring rolls as the snack they’d never eat again, some said that they were “too greasy” while others noted that they didn’t like the cheeseburger filling. We’ve had good luck in our spring rolls here, but with such typically greasy fillings like pepperoni and cheese all wrapped up and fried, it makes sense some guests could wind up with a grease bomb. We’re disappointed that not everyone enjoys this beloved snack, but hey, that just means more for us! Cheeseburger Spring Rolls are back with a NEW dipping sauce! Learn more here. Churros Disney World’s churros made it on this list for one reason and one reason only…Disneyland’s churros are better! We got several comments saying things like “100x better in Disneyland!” and “Yes I said it, but they do not come close to Disneyland’s churros.” We have to admit, Disney World’s churros could be a bit better. Honestly, we have to agree with our readers on this one! We don’t necessarily have anything AGAINST Disney World churros, but they don’t hold a candle to their Disneyland counterpart. Maybe it’s the inventive flavor combos they get out there or just that lack of muggy humidity (yep. Probably the latter!) but Disneyland churros are :chef kiss:. School Bread Just like the milk in Galaxy’s Edge, this is kind of a “love it or hate it” snack. You can find the school bread at Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe in EPCOT’s Norway Pavilion, and while we’re all about it, not everyone is. We happen to LOVE this sweet bread stuffed with pastry cream, topped with glaze and toasted coconut. But we get it — it’s not for everyone. School Bread with a ‘Frozen’ makeover! “I had such high expectations but hated it,” said one of our readers. Another felt guilty for disliking it, saying, “I know…I know…but I just couldn’t do it!” Some people are 200% Team Shredded Coconut and others…not so much. It’s okay guys, even if you hate school bread, you can still be our friend. Click Here to See the BEST Snacks to Try at Disney World in 2021! Cheeseburger Pods Sadly, another DFB fave has made the list! We love the idea of a reinvented cheeseburger, but not everyone else does, apparently. These pillowy steamed buns stuffed with cheeseburger flavor are one of our favorite Animal Kindom foods. Some said that there is too much dough and not enough filling for their tastes. It’s a burger INSIDE a bun! Other people had the opposite problem — they really didn’t like the filling. It reminds us a lot of a McDonald’s cheeseburger, so take that into consideration when trying this snack. When mentioning cheeseburger pods, one of our followers said, “Not a fan! Wish I was.” We do too, but that’s okay — we’ll get through this together. Poor Unfortunate Souls Float We weren’t shocked to see this 2020 Halloween treat on the list because it was SUPER divisive. Not only that, but there were TWO versions, both equally hated by many! The float first appeared at the Villains After Hours event with black raspberry soft serve and Cherry Coke. We did NOT love that flavor combo (it tasted like cloyingly sweet cough syrup to us!), but when it came back for Halloween with cream cheese soft serve instead, we thought it was a major improvement. The revamped Poor Unfortunate Souls Float! Even still, some of our team LOVED the intensely purple cream cheese soft serve and others would rather not. Seems our readers felt the same — several of our followers mentioned that they would never eat that “gross cream cheese float” again! We’re not sure if Disney will bring this one back again, but if they do, we might advise some more changes to make it appeal to a broader audience. Beverly Beverly is one of Disney World’s most universally intentionally hated drinks, so we’d be surprised if it hadn’t made its way onto the list. Guests used to be able to get Beverly at Club Cool in EPCOT, but now you’ll have to head to the Coca-Cola Rooftop Beverage Bar in Disney Springs. Farewell to Beverly! So, WHY do so many people dislike this soda? Well, let’s just say that it’s pretty bitter and unpleasant to most palettes. If it tastes like old medicine to you it’s because, well, it kind of was! The drink was originally sold as an apéritif meant to be sipped before a meal to increase appetite. Here in America, we tend to like our soda’s pretty sweet, so it’s not something that we’re really used to. BUT, even still, this drink has famously become a must-do for many EPCOT guests wanting to scrunch their faces up at the bitter flavor. Rest easy, Beverly fans — Club Cool is returning to EPCOT soon and we’re imagining we’ll see our old friend Beverly once again. Various Cupcakes Throughout our many responses to the question, we had a few different readers mention various Disney cupcakes. One person said that they’d never eat the Cotton Candy Cupcake again, while another shared that they wouldn’t want the Piggylicious bacon cupcake from EPCOT’s Flower and Garden Festival twice. Apparently, cotton candy and cupcakes don’t mix. One follower even specifically said “The cupcakes with more frosting than cake! Makes a mess and makes you sick.” Now, it’s no secret that we here at DFB are big Disney cupcake aficionados. But, even we have to admit that we haven’t loved every cupcake we tried in the parks — they’re not all created equal! Piggylicious Bacon Cupcake from the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival in 2015 (But also…TOO much frosting?? IS there such a thing?!) That was quite the list! It turns out that we have some readers with a WIDE variety of likes and dislikes when it comes to park snacks. Here at DFB, we’re committed to testing all the new snacks you’ll want to know about and sharing our opinions, so stick around for the latest reviews!

ICYMI, the Jungle Cruise in Disneyland and Disney World is getting a fresh new look! Jungle Cruise Earlier this year, Disney announced that changes were coming to the ride on both coasts. We’d see a new storyline, new characters, and more! Magic Kingdom’s Jungle Cruise is remaining open throughout the retheme, giving us the opportunity to spot changes as they’re made to the attraction. And now, we have a peek at what’s coming! We noticed earlier this month that Trader Sam had been removed from the Magic Kingdom Jungle Cruise. While Disney hadn’t announced what Trader Sam’s future would look like throughout the retheme, it had stated that the reimagining would address negative depictions of “natives.” However, there was no confirmation that Trader Sam was gone for good OR that he’d reappear. Where Did You Go?! Well, now we know exactly what will happen to this classic character! Trader Sam, Alberta Fall’s longtime friend, is now in charge of the Lost and Found location on the river. But Trader Sam’s decided to make some extra cash…and turned the Lost and Found location into a gift shop! Unfortunately while he was out looking for new wares, monkeys raided his store. Typical. (Squint and you’ll also spot a monkey with a camera! Could this mean there will be an on-ride photo?!). ©Disney This will be the last scene on the ride — so we’re expecting it to be placed where the old Trader Sam scene was! Disney stated that the “enhancements debut later this year,” so we’ll be sure to keep an eye out for this addition.

We’re back to report on everything new at some of our favorite Disney resorts! Gran Destino Tower at Coronado Springs If you’re headed to a stay at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campgrounds, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, or Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort, you’ll find a few new surprises! Fort Wilderness Resort and Campgrounds P&J’s Southern Takeout On our latest visit to this counter-service location tucked next to Trail’s End Restaurant, we found a lot of new treats! The first were several new specialty coffees, including a Strawberry Shortcake Latte (with strawberry and vanilla), Campfire S’mores Latte, Gold Rush Latte (with vanilla and caramel), and the Wilderness Bark Latte (which is hazelnut and chocolate). P&J’s Southern Takeout Menu We tried the Wilderness Bark, and while it was a bit sweet, it was delicious! It basically tasted like Nutella (and who would complain about drinking Nutella??). Wilderness Bark Latte We recently reported on one of the BEST cupcakes at Disney World we found at P&J’s! Carrot Cake Cupcake The current specialty Carrot Cake cupcake has a spiced carrot cake, cream cheese filling, buttercream icing, and a drizzle of caramel. Who wouldn’t want to eat up all that oozing caramel?? We could not get enough! Gorgeous, right?! We also found a new, and slightly confusing, treat: a Pineapple Upside Down Cake Push Pop! Pineapple Upside Down Cake Push Pop! For $4.99, you’ll get layers of yellow cake, pastry cream, and caramelized pineapple, topped with whipped cream and a cherry! While this treat was delicious, and very Instagrammable, it was a bit of a struggle to eat! Still, we highly recommend! We highly recommend! A DFB favorite, the Turtle Brownie, is back at P&J’s as well! Our Beloved Turtle Brownie! This brownie has a layer of dense, chocolatey brownie and is topped with SUPER thick caramel! We love the rotation of delicious treats at P&J’s! Who wouldn’t want to try this Margarita Cupcake ?? Meadow Swimmin’ Pool We strolled over to the Meadow Swimmin’ Pool after noshing on all of our treats, and found that the water slide was under construction! Wilderness Lodge Slide Construction They were redoing the stairs and platform, but guests were still enjoying the pool around the construction walls. Fences are becoming a normal occurance based on all of the construction we’re seeing recently! Work happening on the slide! And that’s everything from Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campgrounds! Check out which Disney World Pool Bar is continuing its winning streak of delicious drinks! Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge Uzima Springs Pool Fort Wilderness wasn’t the only pool having some work done! On our latest visit to Animal Kingdom Lodge we saw that the water slide at the Uzima Springs Pool was getting some TLC. DAKL Pool Waterside Refurb Don’t worry, you can still enjoy the rest of the pool area! Make sure you grab a Nyala brownie while you soak up some sun. A DFB Must-Try Brownie is Finally Back in Disney World General Updates One of the best parts of visiting Animal Kingdom Lodge is seeing all of the animals roaming around! Animal Viewing Area A portion of the upper viewing area was blocked off on our visit, due to the flamingos that were nesting! Nesting Flamingos! We were still able to sneak a peek at the flamingos from the pool area. Flock to this spot to get a great view! A flock of flamingos! That’s everything new from Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge! Why You Might Want to Bring Earplugs to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort Rix Sports Bar and Grill On our latest visit to Disney’s Coronado Springs, we stopped by Rix Sports Bar and Grill and made the very smart choice to order a dessert off of the kid’s menu! Cotton Candy Cheesecake This new fun dessert has Cotton Candy-flavored Blue and Pink Swirled Cheesecake with a Graham Cracker Crust. It comes topped with thick Whipped Cream Cheese, Strawberry Syrup, Berries (including a Strawberry and Blueberry) and garnished with a piece of Fluffy Cotton Candy! Make it pink! Make it blue! There was no mistaking that this was a cotton candy dessert (it tasted like straight up ballpark cotton candy), but it was so good! Paired with the strawberry garnish, it was the perfect bite! It’s so colorful and fun! You are never too old to order off the kids’ menu! Here’s our full review of the Cotton Candy Cheesecake Those are all the updates we have from the Disney World resorts! We’ll be back next week with even more updates from the resorts that we visit, so stay tuned to DFB for more from the resorts! Read about everything that’s new at Disney Springs!

We’re back again this weekend for another look at wait times across Disney World! Welcome to Disney World! We saw wait times continue to drop a little lower this week, likely helped by the weather, and the end of the spring break season. Let’s take a closer look to see which park had the longest wait! Magic Kingdom Magic Kingdom waits were a little lower this week — not by much, but we’ll take those extra minutes when we can get them! This week, Splash Mountain had the top time in Magic Kingdom with 59 minutes! Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is seating every row! Other long waits in the park included Seven Dwarfs Mine Train with an average line of 48 minutes, Jungle Cruise clocking in with 38 minutes on average, Space Mountain at 33 minutes, Peter Pan’s Flight and Pirates of the Caribbean with 31 minutes, and Astro Orbiter at 30 minutes. The wildest ride! Wait times in the 20s included Big Thunder Mountain at 29 minutes, it’s a small world at 26 minutes, Mickey’s PhilarMagic at 25 minutes, Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin and Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh at 23 minutes and Prince Charming Regal Carrousel clocking in at 22 minutes. Small World, Huh? Wait times in the teens included Haunted Mansion with 19 minutes, Tomorrowland Speedway at 18 minutes, Under the Sea – Journey of the Little Mermaid with an average of 17 minutes, Magic Carpets of Aladdin, Dumbo, and Country Bear Jamboree at 16 minutes, Mad Tea Party at 13 minutes, Barnstormer coming in at 12 minutes, and Carousel of Progress with 10 minutes. Spin your partner round and round! And round… As we saw last week, Enchanted Tiki Room and the Liberty Square Riverboat ran continuously and posted an average of 0 wait time. We found some new ways to get snacks in Magic Kingdom this week! EPCOT The battle for the longest wait in this park was a little closer than usual this week, with Test Track and Soarin’ neck and neck. Test Track narrowly won out with the longest average wait of 46 minutes, with Soarin’ a very close second at 44 minutes. Test Track The next highest waits (no surprises here) were Frozen Ever After averaging 40 minutes, and Mission: Space averaging 39 minutes. Another close one! Frozen family! Other notable times around the park included Spaceship Earth with a 25-minute wait, Journey Into Imagination at 14 minutes, and The Seas with Nemo and Friends at 13 minutes. A very pretty view of the Imagination Pavilion! Everything else in the park was under a 10-minute wait, including Living with the Land (9 minutes) and Gran Fiesta Tour (7 minutes), as well as the films and shows around World Showcase, which run continuously and retained a zero wait. We spotted some wild stuff this week in EPCOT you don’t wanna miss! Disney’s Animal Kingdom Though the overall average wait time dropped, the longest line in Disney’s Animal Kingdom was not even close this week: Flight of Passage clocked in with a 54-minute wait. Avatar in Flight of Passage Queue Everything else in the park was fairly manageable, with the next longest average wait coming from the Kilimanjaro Safaris which clocked in with a 41-minute average. After that, Na’vi River Journey ranks next at 33 minutes, followed by Dinosaur at 32 minutes. You never know who you’ll spot! Waits in the 20s included It’s Tough to Be a Bug at 24 minutes, and Kali River Rapids at 22 minutes. Kali River Rapids Rounding out the park, Expedition Everest carried an average 19-minute wait, and Triceratop Spin came in with an average 7-minute wait. Per usual, the exploration trails required no wait time. We had a pretty festive week in Animal Kingdom! Disney’s Hollywood Studios We saved this park for last because honestly, who didn’t see this one coming? Slinky Dog Dash once again tops Disney’s Hollywood Studios with the longest wait and was the longest average wait in Disney World this week at 62 minutes. Slinky Dog Dash The next highest ride in the park was Tower of Terror, this week clocking an average wait of 54 minutes. The next closest ride was Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run at 44 minutes. Still one of the newer rides in WDW! Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway was next closest at 38 minutes, followed by Rock’N’Roller Coaster at 35 minutes. Time to jam! There were several wait times in the 20s this week including Toy Story Mania and Muppet Vision 3D both averaging 27 minutes, followed by Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy and Alien Swirling Saucers which both average a 26-minute wait. Finally, Star Tours averaged a 25-minute wait. You should probably save that snack for AFTER you ride Bringing up the rear with the lowest wait in the park was the show Walt Disney Presents which averaged 15 minutes. Though Rise of the Resistance was also operating this week, we don’t track the wait since it operates on the virtual queue system. Check Out Who We Saw in Hollywood Studios This Week! Overall, it feels as though wait times are stabilizing and getting back to how things looked pre-Spring Break. We’ll be keeping an eye out as we’re expecting another bump as summer begins and vacationers start making their way to Disney again!

Even though Disney World has been open since last July, there are many things that have yet to make their return to the parks, including certain restaurants (we still miss you, Casey’s Corner) and experiences, like nighttime shows and fireworks. At least we have rides! We only JUST got park hopping back in January, and we’re still missing things like preshows for certain attractions due to social distancing. One thing that we hear about a LOT from readers is an experience that has been absent since the summer — FastPass+. FastPass+ is Disney’s system that allows guests to reserve a specific window of time to ride an attraction without having to wait in the full line. FastPass+ has been suspended since reopening due to capacity and social distancing, but today we caught a glitch that gave us some false hope. FastPass Kiosks Closed in Magic Kingdom On My Disney Experience today, we saw the button show up that prompted us to select our FastPasses, right next to where we would make our other reservations — huh?? This feature had been gone for a while. Time to investigate We assumed this was just a glitch and it wouldn’t be any more than an image, but when hovering over the icon, the FastPass+ option became clickable! A button popped up that said “Make a Selection”. Curiouser and curiouser We clicked the FastPass+ button and…it led back to the park information home page. Some of our team members see this option in their account, but most don’t, so it’s unclear who this glitch is affecting. It was worth a shot! Since there hadn’t been any official announcement from Disney about the return of FastPass+, we didn’t get our hopes up, but that was still a pretty sad glitch! This also isn’t the first time the Disney website has made us think FastPass+ might come back soon…TBT to last September when they accidentally published 2019’s webpage! Also…FastPass signs have gone missing?? With Disneyland Resort set to reopen next week, also sans FASTPASS, it could still be a bit before we see the return of FastPass+ to Disney World. However, we will continue to keep our eyes out for the REAL return so we can keep you updated! You can still hit up ALL your favorite rides, even WITHOUT FastPass!

Disney World is spiffing up just about EVERYTHING for the big 50th anniversary celebration set to happen later this year! Get ready for some magic! Cinderella Castle has been in the middle of a SERIOUS glow-up since last year — it got a new paint job, new fancy banners, new ribbons on the spires, and a stage in front of the castle has been under construction for a while. But today, we noticed something new about Cinderella Castle. Here’s what she looked like earlier this week (note the long line of bushes in front of it). What’s that in front of the castle? But today, she looked like this — the BUSHES in front of the castle are now gone! This could signify that some of the work there is complete. The bushes are gone! Finally, the big green eyesore won’t be in the way for your iconic Cinderella Castle photos! What a beaut So that’s one more thing the Imagineers have crossed off the list with the castle’s makeover.

Disney has parks and resorts in several spots around the world, and each location has its own unique charm — and merchandise. ALOHA from Polynesian Village Resort Recently we’ve seen items from Disney’s Aulani Resort come “visit” Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, and it has been fun to see new styles and characters represented. Today, we even spotted a pair of Aulani Minnie Ears we hadn’t seen yet! Even though much of the Polynesian Resort is still under construction, you can still visit its gift shop, and some of its restaurants, like Pineapple Lanai for some yummy Dole Whip. With these ears, you might just want to spend a whole day relaxing at the Polynesian! Aulani Ears! The Aulani ears are blue and white and feature a fun tropical pattern on each ear. Instead of a bow like on most Minnie ears, they feature a sparkly flower! TBH we’re getting Moana vibes There are also sequins covering the headband, and the tropical pattern continues onto the back of each ear. Back of the ears The other ear features layers of flowers on both sides in various colors. All the florals! We spotted these unique ears at the Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort in Moana Mercantile for $30. We would love to see more ears that break the traditional style like these, and we wouldn’t complain about more Aulani merch in Disney World either! Grab these before they’re gone! Check out some new ears we saw this week! Join the DFB Newsletter to get all the breaking news right in your inbox! Click here to Subscribe! Don't Miss Out on Any Disney Fun!

Nothing complements a day by the pool like a refreshing drink or cocktail, and luckily at Disney World, there’s no shortage of Pool Bars! The Drop Off Today we popped over to the Drop Off Pool Bar over at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, which has really stepped up its cocktail game lately, and we were happy to find a new drink on the menu! The Drop Off has introduced a few new drinks this month, including the Fish Tank, and the Tipsy Rabbit (a boozy Easter shake). Today, we saw they had also added the Cherry Blossom to the lineup! Lots of choices! The Cherry Blossom is a cocktail made with New Amsterdam Gin, Pom Pomegranate Juice, House Made Lime Juice, and finished with a splash of Grenadine. It’s topped off with an edible flower! The drink was listed on the menu for $14. First look at the Cherry Blossom We LOVED this drink. It was fresh and light, with a good ratio of Gin compared to the other ingredients, and all of the flavors balanced really well together. It’s also a really pretty drink, especially with the flower on top! A closer look a the new drink The lime juice was super fresh and had a great tartness that paired well with the pomegranate juice. It’s a fruity cocktail for sure, but so refreshing! The sweet Cast Member gave us another flower to top our drink with. We can’t decide if we like the purple or orange more! We got a second flower! This was a GREAT pool cocktail, and we would totally sip on this one again while sitting out on a resort day. So yummy! While we really enjoyed it, lime and pomegranate are the main flavors, so if those aren’t your jam, this may not be the drink for you. However, fruity drink lovers will likely be a huge fan of the Cherry Blossom — light, fresh, and not too sweet. Perfect for a sunny day. You can try it yourself at the Drop Off Pool Bar for $14!

Disney World is the Most Magical Place on Earth, but the Most Perfect Place on Earth? Not unless your idea of “perfect” is being taunted by a s’more. Magic Kingdom We typically have an AMAZING time when we visit Disney World, but we won’t pretend that everything always goes as smooth as the Skyliner (or, you know, not). For example, here are five things that went hilariously horribly wrong this week! Is it just us, or has the past week felt like a YEAR? Between the weather whiplash, the imminent Disneyland reopening, and BIG changes throughout Disney World, we’ve felt a lot of feelings these last several days. It’s a Poncho Kind of Day Most of the time, things went great! See: fashion-forward cupcakes and cool Cast Member tattoos. But other times? Let’s just say we’re starting to feel like we’re being ghosted by the PeopleMover. 1. Mickey Waffle With “Graphic Content” Warning Well, this was a new one! We’ve eaten our fair share of Mickey Waffles at Disney World, with ALL kinds of toppings, sauces, and flavors! Is This What Mickey Waffle Dreams Are Made Of? We’ve eaten Pumpkin Spice Mickey Waffles, and we’ve even eaten Minnie Waffles! But we haven’t eaten an R-rated Mickey Waffle…until now, apparently. Mickey Waffle at Magic Kingdom A recent Facebook post of ours, which featured a perfectly normal looking Mickey Waffle in front of Cinderella Castle, was marked as “graphic content,” and the image was blurred due to potential “sensitive” material. Excuse us?! Now, we get that some people might prefer savory waffles to sweet, but this seems a tad much, no? One Facebook commenter pointed out that perhaps it was because the Mickey Waffle didn’t have any sauces on it, so it appeared “naked,” but this was NOT the usual social media response we get from a waffle! Can Anyone Tell Us Why This Mickey Waffle is Rated R? 2. Waiting 16 Minutes for a Treat That Was…Right in Front Of Us Usually, when we’re ready for a sweet treat, we don’t have to wait TOO long to get our sugar fix! Unless of course we make the mistake of craving a cupcake right at rope drop. Main Street Bakery Seeing as most of Disney World’s baked goods are already made, packaged, and ready to serve, we’re typically only a couple minutes between hunger and sugar satisfaction, but this unfortunately was not the case this week at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge! Wilderness Lodge This “incident” will forever be remembered as the day the Roaring S’mores taunted us from the pastry case. It was literally sitting in the fridge within arm’s reach, yet we still wound up waiting 16 minutes to get it because they were a bit backed up on Mobile Orders. Well it LOOKS promising We totally get it, and we can only imagine the hustle required when a bunch of hungry cupcake-craving guests come all at once, but this was certainly the first (and hopefully last) time we’ve waited longer for a s’more than for a ride at Magic Kingdom. Read our full review of the Roaring S’mores Trapped Inside Because of a Snake Cautionary signs warning of snakes and alligators are a common sight at Disney World, but it’s not too often that we see any at all, let alone get trapped indoors because of one! Snake! Proof that Florida wildlife is NO JOKE, our reporter Amber’s kids sent her a pic of a snake from their backyard while she was in the parks reporting! While there was still a full day of reporting ahead of her, she warned her kids to stay inside for a while. Even though the snakes were not AT Disney World, this certainly affected our reporter’s day in the parks! Hold On…Pythons Could Be on Restaurant Menus in Florida WEATHER. ‘Nuff said. We’ve said it time and time again, but weather at Disney World is wilder than Kilimanjaro Safaris. At least when we’re trekking through the savanna the worst that can happen is a cute traffic jam — we’re not having our Minnie Ears literally blown off our heads! Rainy Day in the Magic Kingdom Further proof of Florida’s intense weather took place this week, as the roller coaster of a forecast continued with HEAVY winds and torrential rain! Tomorrowland on a “Severe Weather Warning” day That’s all inconvenient enough, but it REALLY became a problem when the horrible weather came to a head precisely at the moment when everyone at Disney’s Hollywood Studios was trying to join a boarding group for Rise of the Resistance! YIKES. This meant that crowds of people were clustered inside the cave at Galaxy’s Edge to avoid the rain, while feverishly refreshing their phones, and attempting to socially distance, which is NOT easy during a weather crisis like this. Here’s When Social Distancing Goes Out the Window in Disney World The PeopleMover Fools Us Again (or Did It?) For an attraction called the PeopleMover, this Magic Kingdom ride is doing a whole lot of NOT moving nowadays. PeopleMover not moving Time and time again (and again and again and again), we’ve been teased with a potential reopening of this long-dormant attraction, and just when we FINALLY thought it was going to be reopened today…we were thwarted again! Patiently waiting… Oh, and not only was the ride closed when we arrived bright and early, but it started to rain! ‘Cause why not! Not today! At this point, we’re beginning to think the PeopleMover is just a mirage, or a figment of our imagination. Will it ever reopen? Does it even exist? Hard to say. Soon! After waiting about 7 hours in this area and questioning whether it would actually open today, the PeopleMover officially reopened! YAY! We bet you can HEAR this photo… Clearly, it’s been a wild week for us at Disney World, but through the ups and the hungry/wet downs, we wouldn’t have it any other way! 4 Important Tips For Handling Severe Weather Warnings in Disney World Join the DFB Newsletter to get all the breaking news right in your inbox!

Although it may not be the most thrilling ride at Disney World, the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover is a serious fan favorite! So you can imagine everyone’s worry and fear when this leisurely trip around Tomorrowland didn’t reopen with the park last summer. Since then, we watched in agony as its closure was extended again and again (and again, and again). PeopleMover To be honest, there was a time when we thought the PeopleMover was completely DOOMED, destined to follow in the footsteps of its west coast counterpart. But thanks to an announcement from the President of Walt Disney World, Jeff Vahle, we finally learned that the PeopleMover WOULD be moving people once again! And that day is today, friends. The day has finally arrived where we can kick back, relax, and take a trip on the PeopleMover for the FIRST TIME since Disney World’s closures began back in March of 2020. It’s been THIRTEEN months! We rolled up bright and early to be reunited with the Tomorrowland ride. Ready to go! We gradually saw signs of life coming back to the ride — that creaky belt was moving and Cast Members were on the scene. Initially, Cast Members weren’t confident about what time the ride would officially reopen, but we did notice some Cast Member chefs getting a chance to hop on it — and then they were later evacuated! EEP! Cast Members Evacuated So we waited, and waited… The worst sound we were so excited to hear …and then the closed sign came down! We’re so happy to see the return of the PeopleMover — we’ve really missed it! We’re looking forward to riding it over and over now that it’s open again!

You never know what you’ll find on a visit to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, especially if the animals are out and about. A perfect view! This week in Animal Kingdom we spotted some fun characters, and some interesting souvenirs, but this morning we were party to some very interesting gossip! Gibbon gossip, that is! Gibbons! If you haven’t been to the Asia section of Animal Kingdom lately, you may not remember that it houses a snazzy section for Apes. When the weather is nice, you can catch them out playing in their habitat, or on a good day, you’ll probably hear them coming! Are they fighting? Playing? Will we ever know? Who knows WHAT the tea was today, but these apes were having quite the chat! No clue what they’re saying, but we’re sure it’s good. We kind of wish we spoke Gibbon so we could know what all the fuss was about, but we were definitely entertained regardless! A Gibbon hanging out Some people forget that safaris aren’t the only places to spot animals in Animal Kingdom! Asia is a great place to stop and see a lot of animal activity, especially if you have some time to sit and watch. Next time you’re there, be sure to stop by and see if you can pick up on what these little guys are saying! Here’s the BEST way to spot characters in Animal Kingdom!

It’s been well…a YEAR for everyone, but especially for Disney World’s PeopleMover. The Magic Kingdom attraction closed over a year ago and we’re still waiting for it to reopen. Patiently waiting… The reopening was delayed, then delayed again, and then delayed AGAIN. But earlier this week, Disney announced that the ride would be up and running “late this weekend.” We have seen a lot of testing going on with the ride recently. We were at Magic Kingdom first thing this morning to see if it was ready, and…well…nada. What is going on here? Is it really doomed like we initially guessed? We were told by Cast Members it could open later today or even tonight. We’ve been watching the progress today, and we noticed some chefs were going for a test run! Have a good ride! But a few minutes later, the ride stopped and the chefs were evacuated from the ride! Cast Members Evacuated Although the PeopleMover is supposed to reopen today, it’s not looking too promising… . We’re not sure what happened here, but we’re following the situation closely (while guests escape the rain under the PeopleMover’s tracks). We’ll be sure to keep you updated! Hopefully, this is only a minor snafu, and we’ll be happily cruising along on the most chill ride at Disney World soon!
